Summary: My Cousin Rachel
Review: "Summer of Fear/Stranger In Our House" finds chubby chickadee Linda Blair gettting a tough time from her much prettier cousin Julia, who to everyone's horror happens to be a connniving little witch! What with Linda's pasty complexion making Prince Prospero appear a pinacle of good health, her pet horse having to be put down (cop the unfortunate stunt double in that scene!), Dad philandering with cousin Julia, best friend Caroline(Fran Drescher in an hilarious pre 'Nanny Fine'turn as a sexy hospital nurse with a knife-edged wit), a besotted brother who fails to score and a slimey boyfriend who dumps Rachel and gets it on with Julia, our poor beleaguered teenage heroine can't help but throw a few whiney tanties. This is a terrible film, completely without suspense(by the time cousin Julia busts out of the dark room sporting her red, white and blue contact lenses and proceeds on a Starsky and Hutch smash-up for the last five minutes its too little too late). Linda Blair has NO talent; this opus is proof perfect of her inability to act. If in doubt check out a few of her other cinematic craptasms- Airport 1975(so bad its great), Sarah T Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic, Roller Boogie, Savage Streets, Red Heat and most notorious of all Born Innocent. The toilet scene in that film says it all!

Summary: hasnt lost its touch
Review: considering this is a 70d flick its still quite creepy and the sound and video quality of the dvd is great. One wonders why Linda Blair ever dissapeared from the screen. she is always so good to watch and such a natural actress

Summary: Summer of Fear (1978)
Review: Entertaining telechiller from Wes Craven starring Linda Blair. Blair plays Rachel, whose cousin Julia (Lee Purcell) comes to live with her and her family at the farm, but macabre events begin to happen and Rachel soon suspects that Julia is practicing witchcraft and voodoo. I wasn't expecting much out of this thriller but in my opinion, it worked very well and was surprisingly scary. Blair does a good job as Rachel and we are with her every step of the way, and Purcell is great as Julia. Wes Craven gives the film a slick, hard look and an impressive atmosphere (this was Craven's first 35mm film), and the script by Glenn M. Benest and Max Keller is riveting and suspenseful. Lois Duncan's acclaimed novel gets a nice little fright of a treatment with this little TV gem.

Summary: Summer of Melodrama
Review: I recently rented this movie, expecting great things. I'm usually a fan of Wes Craven, although his truly great films are few and far between. I couldn't believe how horrilbly cheesy this film was!! Linda Blair is very annoying in this film, from her grating voice, to her 1970's afro. I know that it is a 1970's TV movie, but that's no exuse. Salem's Lot was from that same era, and it had some decent scares to it.

Better than I remembered it! =^..^=

Summary: Beware of Strangers
Review: I saw this movie back when I was 10 or 11 years old. This movie is a classic, old-fashioned spooky movie that I could watch during a lazy, rainy Saturday afternoon. It was REALLY GOOD. I haven't seen it since it came out back in '78. I don't even think it's been shown on TV much since, either. I'm glad it came back on video. There's not too much to the storyline, but the ending will throw you, especially if you've never seen it before. Watch it and enjoy. Oh! It's good to see Linda Blair in a "good" role versus the "evil" roles like "The Exorcist".
